Can you tell if a package is "signature required" from the tracking information?

If you're getting something shipped, and you don't know if it's going to require a signature upon delivery, can you find out based on tracking information, or do you have to contact the person/company who shipped it?

I think it would say, but I'm not 100% sure. I know I had to sign for my laptop when I ordered it, and I signed for a package that came in for a roommate a couple weeks ago. He knew ahead of time it would have to be signed for, so I imagine the tracking info (or confirmation email) told him such.

Wouldn't hurt to double check with the shipper

Depends on the shipper. With FedEx, the answer is yes. I think it's true with the USPS. I don't know about others.

@sfeitler: How is it being shipped?

@falcondeal: UPS from ebay. Naturally I'm trying to figure out if I have to be home to receive it, but I'm not motivated enough yet to email the seller.

@sfeitler: If you register on My UPS: https://www.ups.com/myups/login
You can register and they will be able to tell you more information, as well as be able to schedule a delivery at a time you want or have it held at a UPS store.

[EDIT] Scratch that your want to register for UPS My Choice (it's free): https://wwwapps.ups.com/mcdp?loc=en_US&WT.svl=PNRO_L1

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
